Cohesion Policy 2014 - Cohesion Policy 2014 - 20202020

• The development of sustainable multi-modal mobility is one of the key challenges for European cities and functional urban areas in the coming programming period 2014-2020.

Sustainable mobility Sustainable mobility dimensions and components: dimensions and components: • sustainable, energy-efficient, accessible for all and

affordable public transport systems;• a friendly environment for soft transport modes: cycling

and walking; • easy access to all neighbourhoods, on foot, by bike, by

public transport;• local transport networks that need to be well connected

to regional networks; • peri-urban networks that need to be planned within the

context of overall land-use and spatial development; • transport nodes that need to be well integrated with

social, cultural and economic activities

11

Sustainable urban mobility : Sustainable urban mobility :

• Urban mobility: one of the components of an urban integrated approach, – conditions of access to services (health, education, culture)– mobility from home to work or to education and training

places.

• Urban transport: core of sustainable urban mobility plan, which can be embedded in the integrated strategy for sustainable urban development.

• Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans: set of interrelated measures designed to satisfy the current and future mobility needs of people and businesses

Romania's prioritiesRomania's priorities• Promoting the rehabilitation and renewal of

mass transit systems within the framework of sustainable urban mobility plans, where these will make significant contribution to air quality and energy efficiency:– investments based on urban mobility plans

for :• public transport infrastructure and rolling stock;• special infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists

17

Sustainable Urban Mobility Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans Plans Key objectives:•Ensuring the accessibility of the transport system to all;•Improving safety and security;•Reducing air and noise pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption;•Improving the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the transportation of persons and goods;•Enhancing the attractiveness and quality of the urban environment and urban design

Sustainable Urban Mobility Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans Plans • analyse the actual mobility situation • understand the current situation, and likely future

developments, in issues relating to mobility (congestion, emissions, safety, quality of urban environment);

• formulate mobility policy objectives and targets;• identify/define alternative solutions/projects serving the

policy objectives;• appraise the impact of the various

projects/policies/scenarios; • list of priority interventions and categorise each one as

either a short, medium or long term intervention.
